Review by Wonderful Sunshine Guy, 2010-01-27
This product has a *NASTY * lag problem (as the above reviewer said), and I can attest to it affecting original Nintendo pads. I have tested it with both NES and SNES controllers (multiple ones) against the original GameCube controller with Sonic the Hedgehog, and it would not catch all the D-pad movements and button presses. The ones it did catch were caught "too late." The original GameCube controller was snappy with the game -- this product made me die left and right. The character would jump about a half-second later than when I pressed a button, and he wouldn't turn quickly enough.
One more complaint. The cord is about 3 inches long, so it will put strain on your GameCube ports as it dangles along the sides of the Wii.
Please, please save your money -- I know there are virtually no reviews for it (currently) anywhere, just product previews in blogs etc. but understand that I own the product and it is worthless. I just blew $20 for a nerdy-looking (Nintendo 64-shaped) hunk of plastic. I am trying out other similar adapters including at least the G-Tron 4 in 1 (yes, I really want to find one that works) and if you click on my account you may find a review for some others by the time you read this.

I bought this hoping to relive my Metroid experiences from my childhood on my Wii.
Well, although it does function, it doesn't function well.
I hooked my NES Advantage joystick up to this and the joystick function works decent.
The buttons, however, are a different story. There is a bit of button lag and the turbo function actually makes the gun shoot slower than simply holding down the button with the turbo off.
Even with the turbos off, Metroid is practically unplayable with this interface.
To top it off, the cord that connects this to the Wii is only 4 inches. Better have some long extensions cables.
To its defense, I did not try it with a standard NES controller, Only the NES Advantage. It may work as advertised with the standard controller, but I can not confirm or deny that claim.
I'll be looking elsewhere for my retro gaming needs.
